ReplyDeleteHello Agi, Lisa and Joy, nice to see you here. We have stayed in Brasov for 3 years, before moving to Germany. It is indeed a very nice place to be.
ReplyDeleteRomania is a country I know virtually nothing about, These stamps are a beautiful introduction. Prince Charles's nauture reserve looks very restful.
ReplyDeleteI like that you posted also the pictures. The stamps are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen any of these stamps before, but the others I've gotten from Romania have all been as impressive.
